Also new for the 2023 EQE SUV is the sound system, a Dolby Atmos. Basalely, this System Brings a Theater-Like Quality and Experience to the EQE SUV. And from the outside, Even with the system turned up the sound dampening ensures throse tree you on the road or walking by are not able to hear your musical preferences.

Mercedes EQE SUV test: our opinion at the wheel of this electric SUV

As the trend wants, Mercedes still launches a big, heavy, expensive and luxurious electric SUV. Here is the EQE SUV, in 350 4Matic version.

Zapping Auto Moto Peugeot 2008 restyled vs Renault Captur: First static confrontation !

EQE EQE SUV – If sportsmen, in the same way as the luxurious sedans, still agitate the dreams of part of the motorists, can be said as much electric SUV, who weigh 2.5 tonnes and are unable to rally Paris in Strasbourg without S ‘Stop ?
Not sure. It is however in this category that the new EQE SUV sails.
Far from being ugly, but not top model either, The machine spreads over 4.86 meters and stands 1.69 m high.
It conceals an exhilarating luxury level and impressive on -board technology: customers can thus, if it is not satisfied with the elegant dashboard provided in series, select The famous hypersreen arrangement (€ 8,600), whose three screens cover the entire dashboard.
If it is necessary to be an enlightened amateur of the brand (or a complicated multimedia expert. ) To master the interface, the device offers a multitude of possibilities to have fun, for example during battery charging times, capable ofAccept a power of 170 kW and cover 80 % of its capacity in 31 minutes From a quick terminal.

But, even when driving, the boredom seems to be unthinkable passenger side: The exceptional audio system Give the impression of being in a concert hall, and the screen in front of the right front seat allows you to “make a canvas”. For me, it was a James Bond, on the 12.3 inch slab, with or without headphones on the ears.
Dangerous ? No way ; When rolling the driver puts his eyes on the right side screen, the image disappears briefly, to the chief of board again observes the road.
But with Christophe C. At the wheel, a pleasant colleague with polarized glasses, the system seems lost, unable to detect his gaze. 007 paused every 30 seconds, which turns out to be a bit irritating.
So we reversed the roles and, this time, it was my driving position that was problematic. From the sensor point of view, placed in instrumentation, my eyes were hidden by the steering wheel rim. The film was not launched, until I adjust the steering wheel position.
In summary, this system can certainly work properly and prove pleasant to the passenger on the highway, but under optimal conditions. It is the same for the EQE SUV as a whole: it turns out to be pleasant and effective when it remains in its comfort zone.

Because this model so entertaining by its on -board technology is less flying in hand. He shows an impressive handling despite Unreasonable weight (2,580 kg) But, like all the big electric SUVs, does not leave an unforgettable memory.
His behavior shines with his neutrality, while the comfort of amortization is revealed very well served by a pneumatic suspension which turns out to be frankly soft in town.
A downside, however: transverse tremors, which slightly nod with the head laterally, are felt on the deformed roads. It is because of the large anti -roll bars, common to many models of the genre (understand loud and heavy), essential to annihilate cash movements.
This is not the only defect of the German; Its brake pedal seems spongy, harming the precision of the dosage when braking marked.
But in town or during maneuvers, the directional rear wheels, optional, Almost pass this mastodon for a very handy city car: the robbery diameter goes from 12.3 to 10.9 meters with this device.
In summary, the EQE SUV, which shows a good level of performance even in a 350+ “basic” version, seems to be addressing downtown as well as long well-coated straight lines, as we see so many ‘another side of the Atlantic, where it is produced.
With Its 89 kWh capacity battery, The Mercedes announces up to 551 kilometers of autonomy in combined cycle.

To do this, it multiplies tips, including aerodynamic (CX 0.25 according to Mercedes) or techniques (heat pump provided in series), and benefits in 350 4Matic version of a non -permanent all -wheel drive.
Independently, the distribution varies according to the needs for acceleration and adhesion, but the rear axle remains the main source of energy.
For its part, the master train can disconnect, through a clutch controlled electronically, and go into a free wheel during certain slowdowns, to perfect the efficiency by leaving the regeneration function on the rear train.
We also note an automatic regeneration system which, according to the preceding vehicles or the profile of the road and the topography, operates independently a gentle slowdown.
The EQE SUV, also capable of orienting its driver to a free charging station, thanks to its informed journey planner in real time, seems intelligent, almost capable of evolving in “automatic pilot” mode. But it’s not for now.
Damage because The atmosphere on board invites you to relax. And driving favors comfort to pleasure, except to travel in the middle of the rear seat, where the upholstery is far too firm. But all other places ensure rare well-being.
